The dynamics of change underpinning transitions in the innovation process

Ronald C. Beckett, Andrew O'Loughlin

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference Paper › Conference Paper

Abstract

This paper starts from the perspective that innovation is a multi-stage process that can be managed. There are some differences in the dominant thinking processes, knowledge domains and development processes appropriate at each stage, and our interest is in the successful navigation of transitions between stages. The paper presents a conceptual framework for considering different kinds of dynamics associated with such transitions, drawing on literature related to organisational change and on Adaptive Structuration Theory in particular. This theory considers the social system for getting things done in terms of elements of structure and agency that influence each other. The focus of this paper is the structural element. A number of suggestions for future research are presented.
